Critic Reviews
-
Jay Weissberg, Variety
A chamber piece with four characters full of unspoken needs that rarely bursts with the kind of tension required to make an impact.

Steve Rhodes, Internet Reviews
Directed with keen insight by Matthias Luthardt, it's a sharply written film that plays like an intriguing short story.
